Hong Kong’s economy gathered momentum in the third quarter of 2026, with GDP expanding by 5.2% year-on-year, an acceleration from the 4.3% annual growth recorded in the second quarter of 2026. The latest figure, updated on 03 November 2026, points to a strengthening recovery as the city moves through the second half of the year.
Both the current and previous readings are based on year-over-year comparisons, measuring each quarter’s performance against the same period a year earlier. The improvement from Q2 to Q3 indicates that underlying economic activity has continued to firm, suggesting increased resilience in Hong Kong’s growth trajectory heading into the end of 2026.
